The Base Pair Directory

The Base Pair Directory belongs to the division with basic information on the architecture of bioloymers. It offers a compilation of all possible base pairs with at least two standard hydrogen bonds. Work on more unusual base pairs with only one standard hydrogen bond and one C-H...O or C-H...N contact or on water-mediated pairs is in progress. All base pairs can be displayed in PDF and VRML format. In Figure 5 an example is given.

Figure 5. Example of an UU base pair (1da3 stands for a special base-base H-bond motif).

U(1da3)...U(1da3) UU 4-carbonyl-N3, symmetric  N3-H...O4 C4     C4 O4...H-N3 Tinoco compilation:  yes (pyrimidine-pyrimidine base pairs, U.U 4-carbonyl-N3, symmetric)  Westhof compilation:  yes (n)  Jeffrey/Saenger compilation:  yes (UU4)
